We have transfered a 10g SEO/W2k3s to VMware VI3 from a standalone Server around 4 weeks ago.

Always after 2 days oracle (TNSListener ?) doesn't response. There isnt't anything to see in the windows eventlog, memory/cpu usage is normal.

In the oracle-trace-file is this:

xxx_mmon_xxx.trc:
ksedmp: internal or fatal error
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ACCESS_VIOLATION] [_keltfill+86] [PC:0xC21116] [ADDR:0x0] [UNABLE_TO_READ] []

xxx_j000_xxx.trc:

ksedmp: internal or fatal error
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [13310], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
Current SQL statement for this session:
SELECT SYS_GUID() FROM SYS.DUAL Currently, I reboot the vm with the oracle db every night with a script. That works for me, because oracle is only used for a small special application.
Next year, we want to install linux on vm and will than move oracle to this linux vm.

The people, who have installed the esx server said, oracle with linux works fine in a vm, but oracle with w2k3 on vm make probleme serveral times.
